What is a MMSI?

A Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI) is a series of nine digits which are sent in digital form over a radio frequency channel in order to uniquely identify ship stations, ship earth stations, coast stations, coast earth stations, and group calls. These identities are formed in such a way that the identity or part thereof can be used by telephone and telex subscribers connected to the general telecommunications network to call ships automatically.

Why do I need a MMSI Radio Licence for my yacht?
It is mandatory in most countries to have a valid MMSI  radio license on your yacht so we recommend our boat owners to apply for a MMSI Radio license when applying for the Polish flag registration. The license permits the following equipment: VHF Radio, radar, epirb, transponder & radar and assigns the numbers needed to operate correctly.

​

Your boat needs to be entered into the MMSI register, after which you will receive a unique identifying number. An AIS number and a unique call sign are also required. We can provide this for you without any problem. The costs for this is € 149 and can be easily and entirely requested online.

Can I get a Polish MMSI Radio License for any type of boat?
Yes, all the licenses we provide are issued by the Polish Office of Electronic Communication (UKE) and can accommodate any type of vessel. All the licenses we provide are valid for both leisure / recreational and commercial operation.

Can I get a Polish MMSI Radio License for any boat flag?

Is this MMSI Radio License valid in my country?

Can I use my UK MMSI radio license?
Polish registered vessel must hold a Polish radio licence as opposed to a radio licence issued by any other radio licensing authority – for example a radio licence issued by the UK radio licensing authority OFCOM is not valid for use on a Polish registered vessel

The Polish registration office needs the following documents:

The Polish MMSI can be only requested when you have received the original Polish registration document and takes about 3-4 weeks, portable devices like portable VHF radio cannot be registered in Poland as the Polish authorities do not require a MMSI license for portable devices.
